Alpine plans two incredible electric convertibles based on the new generation A310 fastback and A110.
The Future Fastback of ALPINE A310: From Electric GT to High-Performance Convertible
The Alpine A310 arrives as a revolution in the electric grand tourer segment. Initially launched as a four-door fastback with lines inspired by the aggressive A390 crossover, this model promises an athletic and sleek look that hypnotizes on the roads. Think of a low, aerodynamic body, sharp headlights, and proportions that scream pure performance. But what really excites enthusiasts is the promise of a convertible version, likely a two-door, adapted for the current market where four-door cabriolets are rare.
Technical details are still scarce, but strong rumors point to the use of the tri-motor setup from the A390: one electric motor at the front and two at the rear, delivering between 396 hp in the GT version and up to 463 hp in the GT3. This configuration ensures explosive all-wheel drive, 0 to 60 mph acceleration in less than 4 seconds, and handling that preserves Alpine’s “driver-focused” essence. Unlike generic EVs, the focus here is on sensory experience—instant torque combined with a light and agile chassis, perfect for winding curves.
To contextualize the impact in Brazil, where electric car sales are booming despite falling imports, the convertible A310 could enter as a premium option for those seeking affordable luxury with performance. Imagine it competing with radical hybrids like the Lamborghini Temerario, but with zero emissions and a retractable roof for hot São Paulo or Rio nights.
The fastback debut is scheduled for the coming years, with the droptop following shortly after. Alpine guarantees that these EVs do not sacrifice “driving engagement,” maintaining modular platforms that prioritize lightweight construction and dynamic balance. Recent studies, such as those showing battery replacement rates close to zero, reinforce the long-term reliability of these models.
The New Generation of ALPINE A110: Futuristic Electric Roadster with a Soulful Design
Closer to our market, the second generation of the Alpine A110 arrives in 2025 as an electric roadster that will coexist with the standard coupe. Abandoning the retro look of the current model, it adopts the stylistic DNA of the A390: futuristic, aggressive, and modern lines, with an emphasis on aerodynamics and an imposing presence. The convertible will be the highlight for purists dreaming of a lightweight two-seater sports car, now electrified.
The electric prototype of the current A110 already impressed with a 60 kWh battery, a rear-mounted 239 hp motor, and 300 Nm of torque. For the new version, expect significant upgrades: larger battery packs (possibly over 80 kWh), around 300 hp, and a competitive range exceeding 250 miles. The preserved rear-wheel drive ensures the legendary balance of the A110, known to be one of the most “lively” sports cars on the market.
While owners of Italian sports cars complain about impossible tuning in EVs, Alpine focuses on updatable software and customizable driving modes to maintain the fun factor. In Brazil, where convertibles like the BMW Z4 Final Edition have become collectible icons, the A110 EV roadster could be the new accessible dream for tracks like Interlagos.
The A110 coupe and roadster duo will be sold side-by-side, increasing their appeal. With compact dimensions (around 13 feet in length), it is ideal for urban garages and winding European or Brazilian roads.
Alpine Strategy Until 2030: Seven EVs That Balance Innovation and Driving Passion
Alpine’s vision is clear: by 2030, seven fully electric models on the streets, without sacrificing its sporty identity. The A310 and A110 convertibles are key elements in this transition, proving that EVs can be lightweight, agile, and exciting. The French brand, part of the Renault group, utilizes shared platforms to reduce costs but customizes each for maximum performance.
Compared to rivals like Porsche or McLaren, Alpine is betting on more accessible pricing—expect the A110 around 70,000 euros and the A310 starting above 100,000. Features like fast charging, AI app integration for track optimization, and sustainable materials (recycled carbon fiber) boost the E-E-A-T of these projects. Alpine engineers emphasize that the “shift to EVs” includes preserving “room for drivers who prefer an engaging experience,” countering the criticism that electric cars are “just fast.”
Globally, with Chinese electric hatchbacks like the Leapmotor B05 arriving for R$70,000, Alpine positions itself at the premium end: French luxury with accessible performance. For Brazil, increasing imports of premium EVs open doors, especially with ongoing discussions about tax incentives.
These launches signal the renaissance of convertibles in the EV world. With potent power, irresistible designs, and a strong focus on the driver, the ALPINE A310 and A110 promise to win back the hearts of those who thought electrification was “too serious.” Stay tuned: the era of silent, yet emotionally expressive, droptops is arriving.
